Just "Hanging Out"
We took a taxi to the "Airport In The Sky"
Airport In The Sky Could Have Been Renamed This Afternoon
The breeze was blowing
Today it was "The Airport In The Clouds" Elevation 1602 Feet
Prettier in the sun!
Did You Know? - Catalina Airport (IATA: CIB, ICAO: KAVX, FAA LID: AVX) is a privately owned airport located six miles (10 km) northwest of the central business district of Avalon, California] in the middle of Catalina Island.
The airport is open to the public and allows general aviation aircraft to land there. The only requirement is that inbound pilots state their intention to land and that they pay a $25.00 (US) landing fee.
The airport is primarily used for general aviation. The airport is also used for airfreight from the mainland. Supplies for the island are delivered via Douglas DC-3 aircraft daily.
There are no scheduled passenger flights to or from the airport. It is also known as the Airport in the Sky due to the fact it lies near the island's highest point at an elevation of 1,602 ft (488 m) All roads to the airport from the island's population centers climb steeply upward.
You can see the mainland mountain tops at the end of the runway
The clouds made it cold!!!
On The Road Again
We continued our back country ride
We were in and out of the clouds for a while
Campgrounds ahead
Small Harbor below us
Did You Know? - Rated "One of the Best Campgrounds in the West" by Sunset Magazine, Little Harbor Campground is perfect for campers who enjoy playing on the beach or in the water. Located about seven miles east of Two Harbors and 16 miles from Avalon, Little Harbor is a sandy, beach front campground with lots of opportunities for recreation.
After an hour in the van we were ready to stretch our legs
Yeah yeah... The gang's all here
Looks like the Hollywood Mob
The clouds were having a difficult time coming over the mountains
I think I can... I think I can...
Looks like great surf conditions
A "Hidden Mickey"
Did You Know? - A Hidden Mickey is a representation of Mickey Mouse that has been inserted subtly into the design of a ride, attraction, or other location in a Disney theme park or elsewhere on Disney properties. The most common Hidden Mickey is a formation of three circles that may be perceived as the silhouette of the head and ears of Mickey Mouse, often referred to by Disney aficionados as a "classic Mickey."
